Rohit Sharma: These days, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played between India and Australia. Rohit Sharma is handling the command of the Indian team. Rohit was made the full-time captain of India after Virat Kohli stepped down from the Test captaincy. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Team India has played two big tournaments, Asia Cup and T20 World Cup 2022. In both of which, there is no victory.
Meanwhile, a sting operation on Chetan Sharma went viral on social media. He also made a shocking disclosure about Rohit’s captaincy. He said that a senior Indian player had come to his house in connection with the captaincy. Let’s know who he is.
Does Hardik Pandya Want To Snatch The Captaincy From Rohit Sharma?
Team India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya was revealed by the former chief selector. He had said that Hardik had come to his house. He has good relations with them. Hardik gets a chance to captain Team India in the absence of Rohit. More recently, he also ran the T20I series against New Zealand and the T20I series against Sri Lanka.
Ever since the Indian team returned after losing in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-finals. Since then, Rohit Sharma has not been seen playing in T20 matches. During this, Hardik Pandya has taken command of the team. Hardik also won the title for his IPL team Gujarat Titans, in the first season under his captaincy.
In such a situation, Hardik wants Rohit to be the permanent captain in the T20 format. For this, he also befriended Chetan Sharma. And he also visited their house, which former chief selector Chetan Sharma mentioned in his sting operation.
On the other hand, Hardik Pandya also gets along very well with BCCI Secretary Jay Shah because both are from Gujarat. Jay Shah also supports the IPL team Gujarat Titans, and the captaincy of this team is also with Hardik Pandya. Hardik was made the captain of T20 only at the behest of Jay Shah.
Hardik Will Be The Captain In The First ODI Against Australia
After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team must also play a series of 3 ODIs with Australia. There will be no Indian captain in the first match of the series. Due to family reasons, Rohit will not join the Indian team for the first match. In his place, Hardik Pandya, who was appointed as the vice-captain for the series, will be seen captaining Team India.
